The Facts:
The Raiders staff, which is coaching the North team at the Senior Bowl, definitely has a strong interest in Berrian. But the Raiders figure the Bears will slap the franchise tag on the receiver.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Early indications are Berrian, who becomes an unrestricted free agent next month, won't be back -- even though his departure would leave the Bears severely short-handed at wideout. They could make an effort to bring him back but won't pay him as a star and he might not want to come back to an offense with a lot of holes to fill. Meanwhile, Pro Football Weekly recently noted that after taking a closer look on tape at QB Rex Grossman's play this past season, coaches have concluded that some of his picks were caused more by Berrian's faulty route-running than Grossman's throws and it remains to be seen how hot a commodity Berrian will be as a free agent.
